THE LITTLE GERANIUM RESTAURANT LA CALA DE MIJAS

The Little Geranium restaurant was opened in La Cala de Mijas in 2015 by Michelle and Steven Saunders. Steven was looking to retire after appearing in TV programs like Master Chef, TV celebrity chef, Michelin chef and BBC Ready Steady Cook. The opening of the restaurant was seen by Steven as a pastime but the success of restaurant has kept the pair very busy. This is a hands on business that needs their personal attentions. Steven visits various markets to select meats, fish, truffles and wild mushrooms every day. This ensures their guests have the freshest food available. Among Stevens many talents he has written ten best selling cookery books.

The restaurant is covered with fresh flowers and plants, pictures of friends and family, hand made furniture, white distressed French tables and fantastic glassware.

The restaurant has a small but varied menu with Tapas and A La Carte . Steven has had to keep the menu manageable because the kitchen is very small but he does change the menu monthly.
